Battery Safety Compliance in Electronic Toys: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

Standard-Related Information

Battery safety compliance is a critical aspect of ensuring the safety and well-being of consumers, particularly children, who use electronic toys. The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) has published several standards related to battery safety in electronic toys, including IEC 62133, IEC 62109, and IEC 60086-3.

Regulatory Framework

The regulatory framework surrounding battery safety compliance is complex and evolving. In the European Union (EU), the Battery Directive (2006/66/EC) sets out requirements for battery safety, while in the United States, the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) of 2008 requires that all consumer products, including electronic toys, meet certain safety standards.

Standards and Their Scope

The following are some of the key international and national standards related to battery safety compliance:

  • IEC 62133:2012 - Secondary cells and batteries containing alkaline or other non-acid electrolytes Safety requirements for portable sealed secondary cells, including lithium cells

  • IEC 62109:2009 - Safety of lamps for general purposes Particular requirements for mains operated, fixed electric luminaires with built-in battery

  • IEC 60086-3:2011 - Primary batteries Part 3: Lithium and other alkali metals

  • EN 62133:2012 - Secondary cells and batteries containing alkaline or other non-acid electrolytes Safety requirements for portable sealed secondary cells, including lithium cells

  • TSE ISO/IEC 13485:2016 (Turkish Standard) - Medical devices Quality management systems Requirements for regulatory purposes

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), and other standard development organizations play a crucial role in developing and updating standards related to battery safety compliance.

    Why This Test is Needed

    Battery safety compliance testing is necessary to ensure that electronic toys meet certain safety standards, including those related to electrical shock, fire hazards, and chemical exposure. Failure to conduct this test can result in serious consequences, including product recalls, financial losses, and damage to a companys reputation.

    Business and Technical Reasons for Conducting Battery Safety Compliance Testing
